Storage ideas?

By Eronenris, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

So I now have every single expansion currently released for D2e, 5 of the H&M packs and 4 lieutenant packs. I found a great tackle box to hold every figures and tokens, and a file folder for the tiles.

What I need help with is something to hold the cards. I have a regular sized card box for the standard sized cards, but I can't find anything that will work well for all the mini cards this game has. I need it to be no wider than a standard size card box so I can fit it in the side compartment of my tackle box. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

For small cards and tokens I personally found plano boxes to be perfect. You can even find ones with adjustable compartment sizes

I would do that but I have them sleeved so they don't fit. :(

My cards are sleeved also, but there are a lot of them to choose from. I just went to the local crafts store with my card measurements and picked one up for screws :D also could try making a custom insert with foamcore (I will try that tomorrow myself) :ph34r: http://www.orderofgamers.com/downloads/Descent2ndEdition_foamcore_v1.1.pdf here you can find plan for core box, they have tutorial videos on the site so you can make an insert that suits your needs

Indalecio you magnificent bastard, made me LOL too!

I use plano boxes too, 787 to be exact;

I use the two small box to fit almost every single small/medium monsters. I place the spiders/barghest and such (2squares or small larges) in the side boxes of the top. The middle empty space is filled by large/huge monsters.

The middle boxes are used to fill basically everything my players need; class skills, dices, health, stamina, class tokens, familiars, etc. The highest box is in a different shape; that's my overlord box: Monsters and lieutenant cards, search, items, relic and conditions cards and tokens.

The left side fits perfectly to place the hero sheets and 4 rows of hero figurine.

I use a whole other box for everything that is map-based; doors, search tokens, objective tokens. It's a plain plastic legal document box with compartiments on the top, found it at walmart. I then use legal separator to sort my map tiles.

Sadly, while the expansions keep coming, I found myself a bit forced to use a final third small box which contains everything of the lieutenant packs. Valyndra alone takes some space ;)

I highly recommend this box, it's a bit pricey, but my things are really well sorted and divided, and it's easy to put it back without a mess. The small boxes are a little tight for small/medium figurines, but they fit with the right tetris mind ;)

I too started with slightly modified "Order of gamers" insert. After I got all big&small expansions I decided to create my own .

IMHO you´ll never find perfect piano box to store all content. There will always will be some sort of compromise. :D

Do you know where I can find plano boxes or equivalent in continental Europe ?

Thanks

Hardware stores.

I've bought Gothsonika's inserts for Imperial Assault and I think they're fantastic.

Looks like he just released his Descent 2nd Ed core insert ... and I ordered it immediately.

I'll post some pics / impressions when it arrives.

I have the best storage solution, I leave the game setup on my gaming table ;)

I would love to do this, but the wife isn't too fond of the idea because I play it on the kitchen table.
